5 STAR REVIEW, Readers' Favorite : Catching a Dream by J.R. McRae is a single poem about the wonders of childhood, and the dreams that surrounded us while we were growing up. McRae's imagination overwhelmingly pours out from [the] images, with the phrases laced in golden allusions and hauntingly beautiful descriptions. McRae shows just how wonderful the world can be, with each line a testament to the magic around us. I honestly loved this book. The poem was absolutely beautiful and it was an enjoyable read. Thus, I would recommend this book to fans of all ages, especially children's literature. Robin Goodfellow, poet, writer, Readers' Favorite reviewer
